I really thought this was a newsthump article when I was reading the headline.

Man this government is absolutely useless.

Feels like the article is channeling Zoolander. What is this? A hospital for virtual people?

Seems like a virtual tour is a good idea, tbh.

Twisting the promise, barely making any progress on it and shafting the NHS, now, that’s not so good.

This is brilliant. Wonder in what world they thought this would look good. You can also meet all the virtual staff.

Please tell me this isnt true?

Just went to the article. That picture makes him look like he’s holding in a massive blow-off.

Perhaps he always looks like that though.

If you Google his name and go to images they mostly seem to be off him with the kind of self satisfied look of someone who is proud to have tied their own laces that morning.

Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
